A very inelegant SC2K experience in Windows 95, but this Toshiba Tecra 510CDT is a total beast. It's from 1996 (early PB1400 would be a good comparison) and has so many ports, lights, buttons, and latches ๐Ÿ˜…
Oh, and it just works

Another night with the Toshiba, and a growing city ๐Ÿ™๏ธ๐Ÿ™‚

It's no Macintosh, but I wish the Mac laptops of the era had this build quality. The screen, the hinge, and the keyboard scream $4,999 laptop!

We're having some fun here folks
Can't stop
Who wants to move to my city in the forest with no roads? It looks idyllic โœจ
A few evenings of use and you forget you're even using a nub

Another evening with the Toshiba - on my second city. Gotta say, this laptop has been bulletproof - I know it's only SC2K, but no freezes or hardware issues, and I haven't taken it apart at all.

The cord fell out of the back when I was moving it around, and the battery gave it enough time to panic plug it back in! And it keeps time between uses.

@likesoldmacs SC2K tip โ€” a square of zoning only needs to be within 3 squares of a form of transport, so you can have 6x6 blocks (or 6x anything). No need to have roads around a 3x3 block. Of course you may just like it that way!

(I spent waaaay too much time lying this in high schoolโ€ฆ)

@Charles oh yeah! This was just for fun, trying to get some 3x3 residential towers to pop eventually. Although I recently learned you can do a no roads, subway only development style!

I spent many an hour as a 7 year-old on an LCII with SC2K and even still have those saved games in the collection ๐Ÿ˜

Here's another part of the city!

@likesoldmacs Oh man, I wish I had my old cities. I spent so long working on it. Magnificent game. They remake so much dross, why canโ€™t they remake the good stuff?
